RISK AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT Territory Generation continues to strive towards a zero-harm workplace with an inclusive behavioural safety culture where safety is always our highest priority and at the core of everything we do. Territory Generation manages risks through its Risk Management Framework, Risk Management Policy, Risk Register, Risk Matrix, and Risk Assessment Guide, supported by regular risk reviews, reporting, and management. We continuously enhance our risk management system by focusing on risk mitigation and using the Risk Matrix to assess risk levels based on 'Likelihood' and 'Consequence'. We are exposed to a wide range of risks, including process safety, health and occupational safety, cyber risks, competition, disruptive technology, information technology, security, natural disasters, pandemics, operational risks and compliance risks. Our corporate culture and mindset focus is on risk mitigation through risk-driven projects. Risk forms the basis of justifying any project at Territory Generation. Project managers must seek approval for projects via our Project Management Office. As part of this process, they must identify the risks their project will mitigate and assess the efficacy of this mitigation. The Hon Selena Uibo with Acting Owen Springs Station Manager, Hal Ruger.
